The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) project has released a new version of the Debian-based privacy oriented distribution. Tails allows the user to direct network traffic through the Tor anonymizing network and provides a number of privacy utilities. The latest release, Tails 2.6, includes such security features as memory address randomization and higher entropy for generating random numbers. The Tor software has been updated to version 0.2.8.7 and the Tor Browser has been updated to version 6.0.5. "New features: We enabled address space layout randomization in the Linux kernel (kASLR) to improve protection from buffer overflow attacks. We installed rngd to improve the entropy of the random numbers generated on computers that have a hardware random number generator." A problem with setting up GMail accounts has been fixed and the "disable all networking" option has been improved. Additional information on Tails 2.6 along with known issues can be found in the project's release announcement. Download: tails-i386-2.6.iso (1,113MB, torrent, signature, pkglist).

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The project's latest version, Tails 3.6, makes it easier to lock and unlock the desktop and improves persistently installed applications, allowing software to be set up in the background without blocking the launch of the GNOME desktop. The distribution now provides command line tools for removing meta data from PDF documents. "You can now lock your screen by clicking on the [lock] button in the system menu. If you set up an administration password when starting Tails, you can unlock your screen with your administration password. Otherwise, you can set up a password to unlock your screen when locking your screen for the first time. We improved a lot the backend of the Additional Software persistence feature. Your additional software is now: Installed in the background after the session starts instead of blocking the opening of the desktop. Always installed even if you are off-line. Install pdf-redact-tools, a command line tool to clean metadata and redact PDF files by converting them to PNG images. An error message indicating the name of the graphics card is now displayed when Tails fails to start GNOME."

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The Tails project has released a new version, Tails 3.1, which is based on Debian 9 "Stretch" and contains mostly minor changes and bug fixes. The release announcement states: "Upgrades and changes: update Tor Browser to 7.0.4; update Linux to 4.9.30. Fixed problems: make sure that Thunderbird erases its temporary directory, containing for example attachments opened in the past; fix translations of the time synchronization and 'Tor is ready' notifications. For more details, read our changelog. Known issues: none specific to this release. To upgrade, automatic upgrades are available from 3.0 to 3.1. Due to the #13426 bug, automatic upgrades from 3.0.1 are disabled. If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if you fail to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a manual upgrade." A list of known issues is available. The release announcement mentions that while automatic upgrades from Tails 3.0 to 3.1 are enabled, upgrades from 3.0.1 to 3.1 are not. Though manual upgrades are still possible. Download: tails-amd64-3.1.iso (1,153MB, signature, torrent, pkglist).

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live disc which offers several tools to assist its users in being anonymous while working on-line. The latest version of this Linux distribution, Tails 3.0, is based on the upcoming release of Debian 9 "Stretch". "Tails 3.0 works on 64-bit computers only and not on 32-bit computers anymore. Dropping hardware support, even for a small portion of our user base, is always a hard decision to make but being 64-bit only has important security and reliability benefits. For example, to protect against some types of security exploits, support for the NX bit is compulsory and most binaries are hardened with PIE which allows ASLR. Update Tor Browser to 7.0 (based on Firefox 52 ESR) which is multi-process and paves the way to content sandboxing. This should make it harder to exploit security vulnerabilities in the browser." This release also features a new welcome screen called Tails Greeter. This welcome screen assists the user in selecting a preferred language, configuring the keybaord and setting up persistent, encrypted storage. These changes and several screen shots are presented in the Tails 3.0 release announcement. Download: tails-amd64-3.0.iso (1,153MB, signature, torrent, pkglist).

The first release candidate for Tails 3.0, a Debian-based live DVD specially designed for anonymous web browsing using the included Tor Browser, is now ready for testing. This major update of Tails is based on the soon-to-be-released Debian 9.0 "Stretch" and it features GNOME Shell 3.22 as the preferred desktop: The first release candidate for the upcoming version 3.0 is out. We are very excited and cannot wait to hear what you think about it. Tails 3.0 will be the first version of Tails based on Debian 9 (Stretch). As such, it upgrades essentially all included software. Changes since Tails 3.0-beta4 include: important security fixes; upgrade to current Debian 9 (Stretch); upgrade Tor to 0.3.0.7; upgrade Tor Browser to 7.0a4; migrate from Icedove to Thunderbird (only cosmetic). We will provide security updates for Tails 3.0-rc1, just like we do for stable versions of Tails. But keep in mind that this is a test image. We tested that it is not broken in obvious ways, but it might still contain undiscovered issues." Read the rest of the release announcement for further information.

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (better known as Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The Tails project has announced the release of Tails 2.12 which features the GNOME Sound Recorder application and version 4.9.13 of the Linux kernel. Tails uses the Tor network to redirect network traffic and this release saw the project remove the alternative I2P anonymity network from the distribution. "We installed again GNOME Sound Recorder to provide a very simple application for recording sound in addition to the more complex Audacity. Sound clips recorded using GNOME Sound Recorder are saved to the Recordings folder. We removed I2P, an alternative anonymity network, because we unfortunately have failed to find a developer to maintain I2P in Tails. Maintaining software like I2P well-integrated in Tails takes time and effort and our team is too busy with other priorities. Upgrade Linux to 4.9.13. This should improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, etc.)." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based distribution which is designed for anonymous web browsing and communication over the Internet. The Tails project has announced the availability of Tails 2.11. The new version features a number of bug fixes, including a fix for local root privilege escalation and the Tor Browser has been updated to version 6.5.1. The project has also reported the alternative anonymizing network utility I2P will be dropped in future versions of the distribution: "We are very sad to announce that Tails 2.11 will be the last version to include I2P, an alternative anonymizing network. Maintaining software like I2P well-integrated in Tails takes time and effort and our team is too busy with other priorities. Unfortunately, we failed to find a developer outside of our team to maintain I2P in Tails. As a consequence, the last version of I2P being shipped in Tails is 0.9.25, which is nearly one year old now at this moment. But we will be happy to reintroduce I2P if we find a volunteer to take care of maintaining it in Tails." Further information on Tails 2.11 can be found in the project's release announcement.
